Since 1933, Davenport College (referred to as D’Port by its residents) has been the collegiate household of people such as George Bush (Sr. and W.), Stephen Schwarzman, and Samantha Power. Currently, Davenport holds the Gimbel Cup (awarded to the Residential College with the best overall average GPA) and the Sheffield Prize Cup (awarded to the Residential College with the highest standing in scholarship in science, mathematics and engineering). D’Port’s the only Residential College to ever earn all three Cups in the same year–the Gimbel, the Sheffield Prize, and the Tyng Cup (for highest standing in intramural sports)–and this was just three years ago. So, what awesome things are happening in Davenport this week?

Bye Dr. S :(

Dr. S had his final Davenport tea this Monday with Lucas Guttentag where he spoke about immigration.

We had a very very special announcement. On Tuesday we welcomed the new head of college John Witt! He has two sons, a wife, and most importantly a dog, PIXIE! His wife is quoted as “renouncing all ties to Berkeley” her previous and lesser residential college. President Salovey could not speak due to injuries sustained to his vocal cords during The Harvard-Yale Game (Go Yale Beat Harvard!), so Dean Holloway gave the speech. We are so excited to welcome Head of College Witt this fall!
